Comment 11 for bug 668234

Hi,

So far what I know is that acer-wmi register rfkill of acer-wireless on lots of laptops, including several ideapads. Unfortunately there are something wrong with soft block. Even the wireless is powered on, rfkill shows wireless is soft blocked and we find no way to unblock it.

So, with this test kernel, please check the output of `rfkill list` and ideally there shall be no acer-wireless, then you can unblock all by `rfkill unblock all` and wireless shall work fine.

If not, please attach the output of `rfkill list`, `dmesg` and `lsmod` and I will try to find out why.

I've built another kernel with the same patches and put at http://people.canonical.com/~ikepanhc/lp/875659-3/ if you would like to test on Oneiric.
